  • Separation of work and play

    After nearly two years of solid service my hacked, broken, old and generally worn out iPhone 2G finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago.  It got stuck in this mode where it though the headphones were always plugged in and so it wouldn’t ring or let you talk/listen through the handset and when…

  • Planning for the spring garden

    Yes, I know that another snomageddon event is already under way and threatens to wipe the southern US off the map (it’s what they deserve after all for causing the aflockalypse), but over the weekend, the first of the seed catalogs showed up in my mailbox so it got me to thinking about my spring…

  • Product review: Graco Magnum DX Airless Sprayer

    I don’t do a lot of product reviews.  OK, I really don’t do any product reviews outside of the occasional consumer electronics gadget.  However, I feel compelled to through something up on my Graco Magnum DX Airless Sprayer.  I know this is not something that most people will ever need, but in case you do…

  • My next toy

    They say they are focused on military sales first.  I bet it will be in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog for this Christmas.
